Farming Prismana without Vein Essence via catches

Each region has its own Prismana energy bar, which some menus call the Bloom bar. Catching any wild Aniimo inside a Prismana's spawn region raises that region's prismatic energy. This counts toward bloom progress in the Nurture Bloom even if you have no Prismana Crystals. Catching wild Aniimo also sends Vein Essence, or experience, to the Bloom's giant tree vein. So when you farm catches, you are feeding the Bloom rather than drawing from your own Essence.

The gauge works as a pity meter. Once it is full, a Prismana Aniimo is guaranteed to appear. Nothing else lures one. Only catching Aniimo again and again raises the chance, and only successful captures count. Pods you throw that don't land a catch do nothing for the bar, so a long fight with one stubborn creature is worth less than a quick string of easy catches.

The same applies to event Prismana. You can get the event Prismana without spending any Vein Essence by farming lucky catches to raise prismatic energy, as an alternative to nurturing.

Filling the bar with catches alone is slow. Outbreak catching takes an hour or more, so plan for a proper session rather than a few spare minutes.

Two things help. First, finish the area. Reaching full (gold) completion in an area makes Prismana energy build up faster there, which means the regions you have already finished are the cheapest places to farm. Second, don't farm alone if you can help it. Joining friends' wild surges boosts your own world energy for that region, so you reach a Prismana inflow faster than you would solo.

A Lucky or Super Lucky catch, also called a Lucky Strike, can happen during a capture or during Nurture. Either way it generates extra Prismatic Energy for the region where it happened and counts toward bloom nurturing, so an Aniimo can bloom without Vein Essences. Lucky and Super Lucky results during Prismana flow nurtures and event catches both add extra progress.

Super Lucky is the big one. A Super Lucky catch can fill the Prismana Flow to maximum from very low and skip the Prismana grind entirely. Whether every Lucky Strike fills the bar completely is not settled yet. Sometimes it fills the bloom bar to maximum right away so the regional Prismana spawns at once. Other times the energy is left just short of full. Treat a Lucky Strike as a large jump, and be pleasantly surprised if it finishes the job.

Lucky Strikes connect to nurturing too. Capturing Aniimo during nurturing triggers Lucky Strikes more often than defeating them does, so a lot of the nurturing process can be skipped. If you have a choice between catching and knocking out, catch.

Prismana farming only needs the cheapest Anipods. Regular Anipods are enough for outbreak catches and get more lucky catches per coin than Pro or Mega pods, so expensive pods are the worse buy here. Lower-grade Anipods also earn a special currency in a repeatable event, so the cheap pods pay you back a second way.

Order matters. Use your nurturing attempts or bonus first, then farm catches in the mass surge. Mass-surging Aniimo during Vein Abundance count toward the region's Prismana bar like any other catch, and surges are dense enough to keep a steady run of captures going. The surge system has its own guide on this site. For this purpose, all you need to know is that every surge catch, and every Lucky catch within one, fills the bar for the region you are standing in.

05Where to start

Pick a region where you have gold completion, use your nurturing attempts first, then work through a mass surge with regular Anipods, with friends if you can. Catch rather than defeat, keep the Vein Essence you save for things that need it, and let the full bar spawn the Prismana for you.
